Only 25HP? I think you got ripped off...Mine gave me at least 50HP and 8-10 additional MPG!

Oh I'll probably take you up on that! I've aways got some kinda question lol. Like how do you like your bilstien 5125s? I've got a pair on order only going to be running them with 2.5 spacers for a few months till I can get me some real springs (got the kit super cheap local sale and I'm doing my lbj and ubj so i figured since I'm doing an alignment anyway lol ) so don't judge to harsh lol. I figure the shocks will be a good start and ill piece the lift together over time one bit at a time

They are really good shocks. They aren't going to be as comfortable as OME shocks though. The 5125's are a little softer valved and longer, which is good for offroad but not necessarily for heady loads. While my ride is tolerable (and I'm use to it by now), I could always go for a more comfortable ride with some OME shocks. However, I would be limiting my articulation. The 5125's offer a lot of flex. Be sure, if you are going to be utilizing it, to extend your bumpstops. If you don't, you risk harming the shock by over flexing and extending the shock too far. It's always smart to do maintenance first. Your 4runner will appreciate it!

All great info thanks. I'll have too look at some extended bump stops and ill do a visual check and flex after I install them. I am shooting for an offroad ride more the. Anything even if she is my dd. Steering rack is my next big fix after my lbjs and all. Always maintenance first and this truck was not exactly maintained before I got it so I'm still playing catch up!

I've been putting off replacing my steering rack.. That, and my starter. I really need to get on those though.
On a side note, I'm pretty close to clicking the purchase button on these.. However, I'd have to buy new tires since they're 17's :mmph:

You plan on visiting lots of malls, where the curbs are real rough. Those things are hideous. I've seen Nissans with better styling.

Sheeeeiittt... Please.
They have some in black but I dunno how I'd like them in black on my truck. I like the wheels, and for that price it's not bad. I think [MENTION=34852]crazydubman[/MENTION] has a set of the non beadlock versions in the polished. Gives me a good perspective of what they would look like.

Last time, I tried to talk you out of the snorkel so I'll try a different approach...... You NEED those wheels! Buy them, they are freakin nice man!!
I think they'd look really good on some 37's though.

lol, the snorkel would have been a waste of money.. I've always like the look however, I don't do enough of the expo shit to actually need one. Plus, it would be just more shit to get torn off on the trails.
However, the wheels I can greatly use. I'm not going 37's unless it's sas'd. I have no plans to sas it right now but the wheels can always transfer to new tires. So it's not a complete con. Just sucks I'd have to buy new tires, I don't want to buy freaking new tires. The ones I have now have only like 8k on them. Frustrating cus they lose so much value so quickly. I could probably recoup the cost of the wheels selling my current setup but the tires would be out of pocket.

All I read.
lol in all seriousness those are some sweet wheels, if you can swing it and you want em, go for it. I can see you talking yourself into it, and also talking yourself out of it. That means you need to sleep on it.
